High penalty for mistakes, often resetting significant progress
Combat demands precision timing rather than raw stat power
Players are punished for poor decisions more than poor reflexes

Who Will Find It Difficult

Pokémon Gold Version should be manageable for most players, including many newcomers. More experienced players may find it fairly forgiving throughout. Players who rated games like Pokémon Ruby Version, Pokémon Sapphire Version, and Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! at a similar challenge level may find Pokémon Gold Version broadly comparable in difficulty.
